    None of it ;-) But I like the idea. I think there must be particular benefit in the over 50's and self employed and I'd also go for First Time Buyers.


    Protection, assuming you do this I'd highlight? Look at different options as opposed to Life and CIC as people turn off at that I find.

    I think the Brexit thing will have been done to death so I think the over fifties option is a good one as it will have the least coverage of the three - there are so many people 50+ who think they are too old for a mortgage it would be nice to give them some hope

    What's the profile of your subscribers? If none of them are FTBs there may not be much point including FTB details. Same for the other categories.

    Well that would certainly be insightful and perhaps reassuring for some of your client base. I'm terrible at marketing so I don't really have any good ideas - sorry :(
